The North Carolina (NC) Career Coach Program, a partnership with the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) and NC public high schools, works to support students' career and academic goals and builds partnerships with industry to meet regional industrial needs. An evaluation team gathered context on how career coaches conceptualize their roles and impact students' career and college objectives, and this brief aims to inform how NCCCS can streamline existing resources to maximize career coaches' impact on students. Little is known about career coach-student interactions, the responsibilities coaches hold, and how they collaborate with local workforce partners. These areas of inquiry are important, as existing research has indicated that coaches can help students identify barriers to and build aspirations toward postsecondary education, guide students toward academic and career goals, and connect students to postsecondary resources and personnel.
